Greetings, Poets!

I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to a feast of poetry today. I know many poets are involved in NaPoWriMo. If you are, perhaps you will share one of these poems with the Pantry. If you are not, we will definitely enjoy any other poem (old or new) that you wish to share with us.

I think by now most of you know what Poets United has to offer. Besides the Pantry on Sunday and Monday, we also have Susan Chast's Midweek Motif on Wednesday of each week. It is pretty cool how she always gives us a hint the week before of the following week's prompt. Sherry Blue Sky and Rosemary Nissen-Wade also have their Monday and Friday features. Just keep checking back, and you are bound to discover something interesting here.

If you would like photos from your area (or from a vacation you have taken) to be featured in the pantry, do let me know. I included a few of my own recent photos...really not taken for the Pantry, but hopefully interesting in their own way.

So, please link one poem below. Also stop in and say hello to us in the comments. And, please visit other poets who link, as we all enjoy comments. Have a nice Sunday / Monday!

Good morning, Mary and everyone. I, too, am excited about today's word bounty, especially from those participating in any kind of 30 days of poems in April. I'm doing it, and at barely day 12, I'm starting to feel the strain. I'm enjoying it a lot, but wow... it's draining. I wonder if I'm the only... okay, I'm hoping I'm not the only one. Ha!

Hello everyone! It's good to be back!!! Please check out my poem to find out that I have just released a book of poems and asking you all to please consider supporting it. Thank you so much and have a great and awesome Spring 2015!!!

Good morning, fellow poets! Mary, wonderful glimpses of your area. I especially love the stunning Art Center with its location on the water. That lake is so huge it looks like ocean. Ready to dive in the Pantry.

Lee San, I am having difficulty posting a comment on your site, I dont know if others are as well. I type a few letters, then everything goes blank and the cursor goes away. I will try again later. Your poem is very powerful. I can feel the angst of youth, the wish to change the world, having a leader die.........so well done.

Hi everyone! Love the pictures, Mary. Very cool :) I'm sharing something from a while ago. Hopefully I'll have something new for next week. I'll be making my rounds, but I'm going to be mostly out today enjoying the sun. So if I don't get to you today, I'll see you tomorrow! Happy Sunday :)

Thank you for posting your lovely photographs of Wisconsin. Most interesting and nice to connect visually with the area where you live.Spring arrived here last weekend, though has taken a break, as our weather has been very miserable over this weekend. I believe it is due to improve as the week progresses. My poem is full of spring hopes!!

So nice to hear from everyone here in comments. Thank you for those who have spoken here..and will yet....your voices are important. Good to see such a fine turnout here...hope it is a highlight of your week!
